Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: According to the July 18 news release from CSU:

"The Company’s quarterly results will be disseminated via press release and made available on the Company’s website ( www.csisoftware.com ) and SEDAR, after markets close on Friday, August 11, 2023."

Is it normal for companies to release their results after market close ON A FRIDAY?

Politicians want to release bad news at the end of the day on a Friday, especially before a long weekend. So I am wondering if a company would follow suit by releasing bad news at the end of the week after the market closes.

I am not expecting bad news, but I can't recall a company like CSU releasing their results after the markets are closed on a Friday.

Q: Hi Team,
Can you comment on GSY earnings and the company in general? To me they appear to be record with great growth. Their model seems to be almost flawless with almost a limitless runway ahead in Canada with very little competition in their market. They now appear to also be benefiting from the new interest rate law as smaller competition is getting wiped out and they gain market share. I look at their market cap of only 2B...then I look at the revenue coming in. The valuation don't make sense to me. The company seems so cheaply valued by the market in my opinion. They keep executing, the loan book is now climbing at a exponential rate over the last couple years. It seems more and more people are needing their services. Do you think eventually they will take the company private? Or possible some private equity firm comes in and buys them out and keeps the dividend for themselves? With the numbers they are now putting out it appears like the company could buy itself out in only a few years. Am I correct in all this bullish view or what am I missing here? Appreciate the feedback!

Shane.

Q: I know you hold this company in the Model Growth Portfolio. I have a small holding and it is down around 70%. My plan was to continue to hold and hope it improves as the macroenvironment improves. With the stock price so low now, I hope it has hit bottom. On the other hand, I do need some losses this year to offset gains. I assume by tendering my shares via the auction, I can avoid any broker fees? What are your thoughts on continuing to hold versus tendering shares via their auction?
Thanks.

Q: Hello,

I would appreciate your thoughts on how the arrival of new diabetes/weight loss drugs (Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro) might potentially impact the future revenues at Body Contour Centers? Could the advent of these new medications not have a significant potential impact on the existing players in the weight loss space?

Are you able to provide an estimate of what proportion of Alaris Equity Partners' existing annual income is attributable to their investment in Body Contour Centers?

Thank you!
